BE FOREWARNED, IF YOU SIGN A LEASE OR MONTH-TO-MONTH CONTRACT WITH THIS GROUP, YOU WILL BE ROBBED OF YOUR DEPOSIT, AND MOST LIKELY SUED IN THE PROCESS, REGARDLESS OF HOW GOOD A TENANT YOU ARE.
We secured a house at 1192 Beswick Way in Ashland, OR. Through CPM. We meet the property owner that "swore up and down" that we would be there for a minimum of at least two year. "This place has been a rental for over 12-year... we have no intention of selling this house..."
NOTE: Oregon is a "NO CAUSE" eviction State; landlords do not have to give a reason to evict you. After our lease was up I asked to go on another year lease, I was told only a month-to-month, as the lease designated. I was secure in going on a month-to-month because of the Landlords hand-shake promises, this was my undoing.
Right after the longest winter in 20-years in Ashland, OR. CPM gives me 24-hour notice to inspect in March. 2017. When CPM arrived I asked "what's up". They said they just wanted to make sure the place "Was not going to burn down". This was the first warning flag, the place was fine. Two days later I get a second 24-hour notice to enter, this time with the Landlord. With CPM and the Landlord in this house, I asked "what's up". The Landlord said that he was going to put the place on market for sale. I was blown away. I asked, "What about our deal?" With shoulders shrugged, he said he was having financial issues, and blew me off.
1: He did not ask me for a rent increase.
2: He did not ask me to vacate.
3: He did not offer me to buy the place. (and I could have)
He just wanted me out of there for; "No Cause".
Now, this is right at the end of winter. There is next to ZERO available housing that will take a dog in Ashland. My financial situation is dire, and I have an autistic Son I need to find a home for.
CPM are heartless, vile, greedy, un-apathetic, draconian, sleazy, property managers that ONLY will to their masters, The Landlords.
After having spending my life savings on finding another place to live, first, last, pet deposit, moving expenses 6K+... I made the 72-hour or quit notice in court by a day with all my belongings having to be moved out -no time to clean, do the carpets, fix things, nothing... After I "Surrendered the property" -mind you, after paying rent for the time I was going to be there- CPM told me that "Ah, don't worry about the eviction nptice, you turned the keys in, we will drop the eviction with the court, you do not need to go to court". I go to court, just to make sure. When my name was called, the judge asked for me, I was quit. CPM was waiting for the order from the judge for the eviction conviction until I said, "here" where by CPM quickly terminated the eviction complaint against me.
CPM, regardless of me getting out of that house in the required amount of time "WOULD STILL HAVE SEEN ME GET AN EVICTION ON MY CREDIT AND RECORD". Why? Makes it easier to steal my deposit if I would have to fight them in court for my deposit, with an eviction from this property on my record.
30-days later I am waiting for the results of CPM's assessment of my $2,000 deposit. I asked around to other people what to expect from them and I was told CPM will find stupid charges and ask for 1/3 payment "to them" over your initial deposit to bully you; and that's exactly what happened.
They wanted $803 OVER my $2,000 deposit for:
Painting the decks. When it is the tenants issue that the outside decks are their problem unless you where living outside on them? $340.
Change the light-bulbs: $75.00. When is it necessary to change ALL the light-blubs in a house when they are all LED that last 20-year, that I paid for, to keep the electric bill down?
Stone in front of the fire place broken: So, wear-and-tear does not apply to this charge of $280? Fire, stone and cracks?
It goes on and on... $45.00 to plug an extension cord into the wall for the garage door openers.
$25.00 labor charge -not including the filter_ for changing the A/C filer? Two screws and 2-minutes cost $25.00 in labor?
Stealing through bulling. CPM "Threatened to sue me, turn what they said I owned to collection, report me to credit agencies, report me as a bad tenant to websites..." All bulling me to their stealing demands. And I never was late on the rent.
IN 12-YEARS LIVING IN ASHLAND, I HAVE NEVER BEEN LATE ON MY RENT, NOT ONE TIME! I HAVE COMPLETED 5 LEASES AND MY BUSINESS LEASE I HAVE PAID ON TIME FOR 10-YEARS!
I am a 52-year old retail store business owner in Ashland. Single father of a teenager, 10-year decorated U.S. Navy veteran with two higher education degrees.
THE ONLY THING CPM CARES ABOUT IS MONEY, YOUR MONEY.
Whatever you do, DO NOT EVEN THINK ABOUT going into rental contract with these people. As you can see with all the other complaints, this is one to avoid. Class action? tombean100@gmail.com read more
